Fidgetty?

I've always wondered about fidget spinners, apart from spin what do they do and why are they so popular?

The Wikipedia article describes them as "useless machines designed to spin with little effort", and for those who don't know what one looks like when it spins, there's a video of one actually spinning (wow!).Apparently kids love them - between giving directions I discussed it with my test candidate this morning, she said her young brothers were obsessed with them and played throwing games but she doesn't see what all the fuss is herself.

I bought one on impulse while getting petrol on the way to her driving test, and sat in the car for a minute with it spinning between my thumb & forefinger thinking "Now what?"The bearing felt a wee bit loose and I could feel the ball bearings a little as it spun i.e. it wasn't absolutely dead smooth, which disappointed me a little.I over-sprayed mine with WD40 ("Over-sprayed" because I'm always losing that thin tube thingy used for accurate spraying).

So I'm sitting here with it spinning; can anyone answer my question "now what?"And my other question: how can I stop losing that tube thingy on my WD40 cans?

It was actually a Selley's spray lubricant, I couldn't remember "RP7" and was too lazy to go check the label on the can I used, "WD40" came to mind so I called it that, as it does have a lubricating effect.Also makes bathroom taps shiny
